10 Most Hated Wrestling Matches Involving Beloved Wrestlers

10. Bret Hart Vs. Vince McMahon (WWE WrestleMania XXVI)

The run up to Bret Hart and Vince McMahon’s match at ‘The Showcase of the Immortals’ was hyped with a betrayal via d*ck kick, screaming variations of “[Blank] screwed [Blank]”, and a fake car crash proceeded by a fake broken leg.

As legendary as the Montreal Screwjob is, even by 2010 everything had already been said. Fans knew that Hart was in no fit state to wrestle or to pull out a performance from McMahon. The announcement of the No Holds Barred stipulation clued fans into this being more of a No Holds match.

On the night, we were given a McMahon promo and an elongated double-double cross, with McMahon paying the Hart Family to be lumberjacks but them changing allegiance to Bret having taken the money up front. The match was a shocking display of strikes, a one-sided beating with a crowbar and a steel chair, and Bret repeatedly teasing a Sharpshooter but breaking it with crotch stomps.

This made sense in storyline, but soon became tiresome. Once he applied the hold, Vince immediately tapped. Hart unleased the vengeance he’d held onto since 1997, but this match isn’t befitting of ‘The Excellence of Execution’s’ legacy.
